Judge Dreadful killer a hero
A dad who shot dead a judge and a senior politician because they molested his three-year old daughter has become a national hero after going on the run in Lithuania.
Horrified Drasius Keyds, 37, gunned down the perverted pair on Monday after police turned a deaf ear to his pleas for justice for his tortured tot.
Now in hiding, Keyds has become a hero on YouTube and Facebook with hundreds of thousands of fans from all over the world pledging support.
"You are a hero to all of us," reads one Facebook message. "What you did is nothing but justice."
Mugs and t-shirts with his image on them have begun appearing alongside the logo "Drasius: Lone-avenger".
Keyds' nightmare began a year ago when daughter Deimantela told him about a meeting set up by his then fiancee with judge Jonas Furmanavicziusa and the Speaker of Lithuania's parliament , Andrius Us.
The pair allegedly raped and abused the youngster who reported her ordeal to her father.
But a year long campaign for a police investigation failed when detectives told Keyds there was not enough evidence to proceed with a case.
Now the fugitive dad is being offered a safe haven in neighbouring countries like Poland.
Parliamentary deputy speaker Stefan Niesiołowski said: "This is a clear case of incompetent law enforcement on the original crime."

How many would there be left if we all did this? But at least it would be a safer place for all these precious children. Perhaps they will then think twice.

A true hero, if someone did the same thing to my litle girl, I would kill every adult male in their family and I would kidnap and torture them for months until they died. I have told my wife that if anyone ever hurts my family, my destiny is determined. I will become the hunter and illed or imprisoned. When we start standing up to these animals, they will start to disappear.

What if those 2 men DIDN'T do it? Would all your comments still be the same? How anyone can make absolute comments about this case boggles my mind. This could be a case of someone killing 2 innocent men for all you know, but all of you are letting your emotions and thirst for vengeance blind your ability to reason.

If only ALL men who ever did this, got the same, and fast, our world would be a kinder, gentler place. Too bad in the US, not much happens to them. In the US, only 1/3 of convicted sex offenders are incarcerated. The other 2/3 are "registered" and tracked, as if this could stop them. Thanks Drasius!!!

Way to go - I hope there are alot of people thinking long and hard about this. The tables are turning - parents will not sit back for much longer. Well done - I am only sorry they were not shot before these sick people caused untold damage to this fathers daughter and god knows how many other inocent children.

Good for him. I have 4 children and would have done the same thing. Just cause they are kids doesnt mean they should be pushed away when something like that happens. If we the parent cant protect our children then who can?

Hurray for you!!! It is about time dad's start defending their kids. Shame on the law enforcement where you live. I hope your little girl is ok. Keep protecting her. You did the right thing.
